The band has over 500 charts in the library, ranging from the late 1920's golden jazz era, through the swing era of the 1930's and right up to and including the 1940's music of Glenn Miller and Count Basie. HMO is a 10 piece hot dance orchestra: 2 trumpets, 1 trombone, 3 reeds and 4 rhythm. The inclusion of three-part harmony and solo vocals really adds to the presentation, and HMO is blessed to have two outstanding vocalists, Evan Arntzen and Bria Skonberg. The band is comprised of no less than four women, with the overall average age of the band members being "twenty-something". The word is spreading rapidly about the Hoppin' Mad Orchestra, which is quickly becoming a favourite for the Lindyhoppers and festivals alike. Another big selling point for the band is the fact that there are two other fantastic bands included within the HMO. One is everyone's favourite, The 51st Eight, a band that is becoming a household name amongst festivals and fans up and down the west coast. The second is the New Orleans Ale Stars, a band that will be making its US debut at festivals next year, and is certainly set to create a stir.
